Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Sun 8 Jun 1924

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:29 here. Panchami ended at 03:39, before it. Shashthi ends at 04:32 Mon, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 2 Jun, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Shashthi began at 03:39, before sunrise at 04:29, and ends at 04:32 Mon, after the next sunrise at 04:29 Mon. Both days read Shashthi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Sat 7 Jun ran from sunset 19:27 Sat to sunrise 04:29, 9 h 2 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:29 to 19:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:28 to 04:29 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Ashlesha spans 106°40′–120°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 113°20′. It leaves at 14:57, for Magha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 54.2° + 114.6° = 168.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 12:42, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 16:10, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 04:32 Mon.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:29 to 04:29 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 2 Jul, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 2 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 4 Apr 1924, 10:17 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 62.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1981; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1846.
